CPU RTL Power Engineer

Develop and analyze CPU power models and estimate and optimize RTL power for high-performance, energy-efficient CPU designs. Collaborate with architecture, RTL, verification and physical design teams to meet power targets, assess power-performance-area tradeoffs, and automate analysis workflows. Estimate and analyze RTL power for CPU modules using PowerArtist or equivalent tools. Optimize power at multiple design stages to achieve targets. Create CPU power models and establish early power targets. Correlate power models with physical design results. Analyze power, performance and area tradeoffs, including battery-life projections. Build scripts and algorithms to automate estimation and analyze hardware throttling mechanisms.
